“One of the things, and I think the biggest one in terms of sustainability is that we keep upgrading the aircraft, providing new aircraft, the newer the aircraft, the more sustainable the aircraft is, and the more efficient it is to operate over that route. We’re working hard on that,” Logsdon said.
He added, “We are also working on that with the US Navy regarding the F-18, and we are now conducting experiments with sustainable fuel, and it is going well. We are also working with the US Air Force and conducting studies on the C-17, to operate it with sustainable fuel .. We believe that it is Over the next 10 or 20 years, this will become very important, and I think it will become the norm for the next generation of fuels“.
